This unit is a Navy type asset, but I figured I would start here looking for information.
Have the following:
C-7439 Antenna Coupler
C-8006 Radio Set (A unit of OA-8364)
Manufactured by: R.F. Communications
Mated with the RF 301 Transceiver
Looking for more information. Specifically any...
So, I googled some part numbers for the gaskets I need to fix my compression problem. ( http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxiliary-equipment/83566-compression-testing-mep-002a-003a.html for details )
I couldn't believe SEARS Parts Direct was hit.
Hey, I can take a chance. I checked for the...
So, played with my MEP 002A last weekend. Went up to N1OTY's and compared my and his. (His is nicer :oops: )
Decided that I want to re-adjust the valve clearance again before pulling the injectors. I will then send them out for test/cleaning/rebuilding.
Is the TM valve adjustment procedure...
My request is for a safe place to park my truck (Silver, not green:() From Thursday night to Monday while we take my brother's car to Canada.
Hope this is the right place for this request.
My brother, from PA, and I, from RI, are going to Montreal to watch the Formula One races over June...
Ok, Where do I find an adapter to test compression on a MEP 002a or 003a??
The glow plug is threaded 7/16x20 (Champion #182 or CH-42)
ALL the "Normal" glow plugs are a metric thread.
Anyone make an adapter or test fitting? My first thought was to just get a 7/16x24 bolt machined to seal...
SO, after following Joesco's thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxillary-equipment/64782-help-installing-rebuilt-ip-mep-002a-refurb-update.html
I decided to check my timing since my symptoms matched his. It was a beautiful weekend so I was able to get some time to work on the unit. It is on...
So, I bought two of the glow plugs for the head from (Onan 333B104 type)
I need to replace only the one right now. The other is to keep on hand. With shipping it worked out to less than $25 each.
The white "fiberglass" tube: what is it for? My guess is to put over the electrical wire to...
I cleaned everything in the fuel path from the tank to the IP.
When putting the fuel strainer back in, I couldn't figure out how tight to make the seat (retainer) that holds it in place. Too tight and I might starve the fuel flow. Too loose and I let too much crap and water through.
I...
Hey,
I am working on getting the MEP going. I have no fuel coming out the lines to the injectors. Have plenty of fuel going to the pump, almost nothing coming back out. I think the plunger might be stuck. So, I am planning on pulling the pump.
While cranking it over to see if the IP would...
I just started a WIKI for the 002 and 003 generators.
Please give it a look and then come back here to discuss. I know I am missing some things there. I own an 002a so right now it is biased to that model. Being that they are so similar I figured one wiki for both was appropriate.
WIKI: MEP...

I was trying to setup a Wiki for the MEP 002 & 003. Now when I go to edit it I get this error.
Could not find phrase 'vault_title_change_error'.
My plan was to put a lot of the information I learned from here and reading the manuals in there. Sort of a formated FAQ. But now I can't change...
Wednesday Dec 01, 2010. Left home base in RI at 0300 for Fort Dix NJ.
Traffic was very light but weather was rainy.
Picked up the M101A1 at 0800, out of NJ by 0900.
Drove through some awful rain on the way to Mechanicsburg, PA. Luckily the traffic kept moving and no work was being done...
Well, they sent my EUC confirmation on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Now I can go get it. (I was just in PA visiting the family for the holiday).
So, I plan on trying to retrieve the trailer and generator in on trip this week. The trailer looks from the pictures to have holes already to...
This is for the 1/4 to 3 1/2 ton trailers.
Was on this site today:
https://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/
Found some specs for trailers and thought this might be neat to add.
I would try to add it to the wiki if I know how. (Some one want to PM me the SOP?)
I just put 2330 in the FSC...
Is anyone going there that could check on a trailer for me?
I won an M101A1 at Fort Dix. :jumpin:This is my first win and expect the EUC wait to be long like everyone says. :sad:
I bought it based on the pictures. Would like to know if I need more than just chains and lights when I go to get...
Inspection request:::
Anyone been there this week?
Anyone going soon?
Have some items I would like answers to if possible.
PM me is best. or try my cell in the evening 401 RI area code 644 then 8529. [broken up to foil bots, i hope]
Well, I got serious about bidding on a MEP. Was looking for whats close. SO, decided to bid on some of the stuff out of Ft. Meade today.
Two MEP-002A on trailers with canvas and only 2.x hours. Had to double check a couple times to make sure it wasn't the same picture. Well one went for $647...
